...Arnold Palmer, almost stole the affections of Arnie's Army in helping beat Dancer Ray Bolger and Golfer Jimmy Demaret three and two. Even with the match won, Ike insisted on finishing the full 18, stroked in a superb 40-ft. birdie putt over two rolls and a dip on the 17th green, left the golf course exuberantly, and cried to reporters, "I don't know what I would do without this game.

We had passed Bishop's Rock and were entering the Channel, when another US Line ship came by, and I was told to dip our flag in the customary salute. When I came forward again I passed him, and he pointed over the stern to that silk flapping thing, saying, "anywhere this flag flies is no place for the black man." He wasn't personally bitter, only very disappointed and very analytic...
